Description
Chateau Petrus 1986Pomerol
Magnum (1)
"Dark red, with an amber edge. Aromas of chocolate, stewed berries, Merlot and raisins. Full-bodied, velvety and rich. Lovely palate. Delicious now, but will hold on." (92 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, June 2001)
"The 1986 Petrus is one of the very few cases, perhaps the only one, where I prefer this vintage to the 1985. That said it is no top-tier Petrus. It has a conservative bouquet with plenty of earthy/undergrowth aromas and you wish there was more fruit. The palate is well balanced with decent substance, but perhaps like the 1985, it is hampered by a nagging sense of flatness and lack of tension. This might possibly be due to the wine being filtered at the time." (90 pts. Neal Martin, Vinous, Feb. 2018)
